Final Exam-for-5/28/07- The music industry needs to understand that we as teens that dont have money till we can get a job. The parents of the teens do understand that we have iPods and have to pay music that is why some some teens use illegal music downloads. We think that moneuy grows on trees at least the children or teens that get what they want. So then at that case teens can get music that is free.
No, matter what you do they will find ways to get music there is no way to lock a C.D. (well at least I don't know of). If they could lock a C.D. then maybe they could slow down the illegal music downloads. Parents see that they listen to music on the radio and then just wait for it to come on the radio again. That is usally how they get music or maybe they just buy an C.D. and come running to get help form their six year olds for help with the C.D. player.
I honestly don't think that i would pay for music as a teen till i get a job then i would start to buy my music.
5/24/07-- We learned about EXCEL more of what you can do with formals. We used it to make a wish list then we had to make up a fake future. WE had to make a living by buying a ampartments jobs and cars. Then we had to get paid and take money out for bills. We made a POWERPIONT. In powerpoint we learneed to make foward back and ect. buttons and hyperlinks. that was a fun project but when you didnt have any information to review questuons and you had to make it up then it got a little harder.
I have learned about INK SCAPE( that was a fun thing to learn and play with. I learned that there is WEB SAFE COLORS (colors that can be used on internet safely). and about RBG (RED BLUE AND GREEN) AND CYMK (CYAN YELLOW MAGENT AND BLACK). WHITESPACE was a hard topic well second hardest and zpd was the hardest but whitespace is the area that is not being used. We had a guest speaker come and explain ZPD ( ZPD is also now as why powerpoint is evil). We studied 12 RULES OF DESKTOP PUBLISHING. We learned about HTML. After we accomplished basic html we made our websites. Then we worked on COPYRIGHT laws on how we cant copy and aste saying we wrote it. We also worked on our BOOKMARKING for sites and quik and easy linkd to use. and i know that i figured out the RIVER IQ game that was a big accmploshment for me. AND i found the end to the BLUE BALL MACHINE. we have aalso been working on T-SHIRTS for the class. And now we have our own ONLINE CLASS ROOM. It is Tappedin. That is a really cool website.That and i made some better friends got to know some more and to get along with people that are annoying.

10/31/06 12 Rules of desktop publishing.
Use Only One Space After Punctuation- Back when type writers were used you needed two spaces. But now that computers automaticlly put enogh space.
Don't Use Double-Hard Returns After Paragraphs-When we used type writers there was no way to really get the same amount of space between paragraphs. So you had to use Double hard return. Now with computers we have tab and enter to get efqual amount of space.
Use Fewer Fonts- You should olny use about 3-4, you can use more.If you use Bold, Italics, and underlining it looks better and people dont get as confused.
Use Ragged-Right or Fully Justified Text Appropriately-There is no right or wrong way to align text. Use the alignment that makes the most sense for the design and that gets your message.
Use Centered Text Sparingly- Use the alignment that makes the most sense for the design.
Balance Line Length with Type Size -The line length applies more to body copy. Headlines, subheadings, and other things of text have more stuff to do.
Use All Caps with the Right Fonts -When you type in all caps it is consider SHOUTING. You should only use caps for Headings.
Use Proper Typographical Punctuation -You should use that typographical punction in desktop publishing.
Use Frames, Boxes, Borders with a Purpose- You should olny use Frames, boxes, and borders to emphizing, grouping, and setting apart.
Use Less Clip Art- Clip art needs to bfe used on things that it belongs with it and make sure it has a necessary purpose.
Use More White Space - If things feel to crowed than make more white space. If you have white space left than you should higher the resolution.

10/13/06 -10/20/06 This week has been hetic week with the planning for the Fall Ball and working with ZPD.

White space is the neagtive space that is not used on anything. Like that
Getting into colloge
high school, it seems like everyone has an opinion (and a bone to pick) about what it takes to get into a college. Poor test-takers think the SATs must be the most important thing. Those with lots of extracurricular activities fear that colleges will focus more on "numbers." Those who take difficult courses worry that colleges will only look at grades, and not how they were earned. And so forth.
In the end, the process of getting into college is usually quite fair. With a few minor exceptions, colleges are legitimately looking for the most qualified applicants they can find, and that means sifting through as much information as they have available.
Here are the admissions factors that colleges take into account, along with our estimate about how much weight is given to each one. Remember that colleges look at these components in different ways; specifically, prestigous and smaller schools tend to spend more time looking at "soft factors" such as essays and recommendations, while larger and less competitive schools often focus more on grades and test scores. High School Record (35-50% of admissions decision)
Your high school record, which includes which courses you took and how well you did in those courses, is the most important aspect of getting into a college. And it should be. This is the best indicator for colleges of how well you'll perform when given a rigorous college workload. Colleges will look not only at your overall grades, but whether you chose difficult courses, whether your grades improved during high school, and even whether you've let your senior year grades slide. Test Scores (25-40% of admissions decision)
Like it or not, colleges think test scores are important and will continue to use them to evaluate applicants. SATs, ACTs, and other tests show colleges your mastery of problem-solving, reading, and other basic skills. They also give colleges a way to compare applicants from different schools and backgrounds. You need to prep for the SAT, either by taking an SAT prep course or by finding the right SAT prep guide from among the many options. Activities and Other Accomplishments (0-20% of admissions decision)
Colleges want to know what you've been doing, and how successful you've been while doing it. If you've been involved in the community or taken a leadership role in an activity, it's likely that you'll be similarly active while in college and beyond. That reflects well upon the school and enriches the college experience for everyone else. Come up with an extracurricular strategy as early as possible, and stick to it. Make sure you've considered all of your options and discovered the activities that are best suited for you. Essays and Recommendations (0-20% of admissions decision)
These qualitative factors fill in the empty spaces of your application. What's important to you? What type of personality do you have? Are you likable? What are you greatest strengths and weakenesses?
When colleges read your essays and recommendations, they're looking to view you as a human being. If they like what they see, your application will become marginally stronger. Other Factors (usually 0%, but as much as 30%)
Occasionally, issues beyond those mentioned above will play a role in your ability to get into a college. For example, being a member of an underreprented minority group will give you an edge, as will having a parent or grandparent who attended the school.
REFLECTION – 9/25/06 I learned that everything we use is technology. I would have never have learned that for a while. More of how he got his name Pheadrus how he found out about pheadrus. I wish I could learn more about the five rules.
